Welcome to the OBGC Youth Lacrosse program! We are thrilled to have you as part of our lacrosse family and look forward to a fun and exciting season. Whether you are returning or new to the game, this is going to be an amazing opportunity to learn, grow, and build lasting friendships.

Our program is dedicated to providing a positive and supportive environment where players can develop their skills, understand the values of teamwork and sportsmanship, and, most importantly, have fun. Lacrosse is a sport that emphasizes both physical and mental strength, and we are committed to helping every athlete reach their full potential.

Cost:

• Coed Scoopers (PreK – 1st grade): $150
• League (1st – 8th grade): $255

Spring Season:

• 8U and up will compete in the Western Maryland Youth Lacrosse Conference (WMYLC). For more information on WMYLC, please visit their website.

Age Groupings:

The age brackets for 2025 are in alignment with USA Lacrosse age brackets for youth lacrosse. Coaches will be responsible for validating birthdates and presenting opposing teams with rosters.

Team Formation:

OBGC will place players on teams based on grade level. Grading players will take place if there is potential to form multiple teams.

Equipment:

OBGC provides uniforms and specialized goalie gear. All other personal equipment is the responsibility of the player. Boys require:

• Helmet
• Shoulder pads
• Arm pads
• Gloves
• Lacrosse stick
• Mouth guard
• Cleats
• Athletic support (cup)

Coed Scoopers only requires a lacrosse stick for equipment.

Practices:

Practices will be held twice a week. Practice fields and times will be determined once the permitting process is completed. Additional practice opportunities may be available on weekends. Players are responsible for bringing their own water to practice.

Games:

Games will be scheduled on Saturdays. Please note that away games may be up to an hour away.

Coaches:

OBGC relies on volunteer coaches. We will cover the cost of US Lacrosse Level 1 training for all OBGC coaches. If you are interested in coaching a team, please contact the OBGC Lacrosse Board. Registration is waived for head coaches and assistant coaches are eligible for reimbursement of volunteer fee.

Parent Involvement:

We believe that parental involvement plays an essential role in the success of our program. There will be opportunities to volunteer during practices, games, and team events. Your support is greatly appreciated!

Thank you for entrusting us with the development of your child’s lacrosse journey. Together, we’ll work to make this season a memorable and successful one. Let’s build teamwork, sportsmanship, and skill—both on and off the field.
